My shooting experience is minimal (and even that might be a charitable description). My limited military shooting was all with .45 pistol and Mossberg 12 ga. Civilian experience is a couple of hunting trips with my dad (he hunts, I carry a gun around the woods so I can spend some time with the old man doing what -he- likes ).
The above being the case, I have no experience with many of the basics: Sighting in and Cleaning being at the top of the "Stuff I REALLY Ought to Know" list.
I'm still in the planning stages of getting to an Appleseed shoot (hoping for Calverton on Oct 23/24). I picked up a 10/22 and a few extra magazines. I've ordered the Tech Sights, adjusting tool, and a sling.
Aside from all the other physical stuff (ammo, sunblock, etc.) listed in posts here and on the Appleseed forums, what is the minimum knowledge level that I should be at before coming down? Do I need to get to the range beforehand and get sighted in?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
